Eric Bernhard
& Mac Archer have a request re: the "Sting" CanAm car.
"We just learned
from John Collins that the Sting actually was in a third race. Two weeks
after it finished the last Can-Am at Road America in 1974, and after John
quit working for Gary Wilson, the car went to a race at Vacaville. All
John recalled, not having been there, was that the car broke a stub axle
in the transaxle. So the car must have passed tech and run at least once
that weekend. If anyone has or comes across any Vacaville information from
July - August 1974, we would be very interested." |
